The Snow

Leslie Alexis

God had placed them there
Straight out of heaven they fell
Beyond the clouds their source
Pearls from God’s own robe

Frigid describes it true
To match the cold of heart
Coldest when the sky is blue
Beauty makes it more harsh

The snow does bring warmth
The snow does bring cheer
Water that can be carried in hand
The snow, preserves the life of man.
